Update

The girls have now had their first Christmas! They are both doing well. We got to hold them both on Christmas Day, so that was nice. We have had some ups and downs over the last few days, but nothing serious. Kelby is doing really well, she is going up on her feedings everyday since they stopped them last week. She is now up to 18 cc's every three hours. Last time they weighed her she was 2 lbs. She is doing really well on her CPAP.

Mallory is now up to 2 lb 11 oz. She has had a little bit of trouble over the last few days, but the doctors have assured us that it's nothing serious. We went in to the hospital a few nights ago and her heartrate (which should stay below 200 bpm) was up to 257 and at one point up to almost 300 bpm. Just every once in a while it will spike up for either a few seconds or at some times up to a minute or two. The doctor was there to talk to us and told us that it was not uncommon for this condition to show up in premature babies. She explained that it can correct itself within a few days and if not, they can control it with medicine. She said that if the condition does continue, it would most likely be corrected by the time she's six months old or so. Over the last few nights, she hadn't been doing it very often, only a few times through the night and yesterday she hadn't done it all day, but at around noon she started doing it again, so the doctors decided to go ahead and start her on the medication. Other than that, they're both doing well and they both look really healthy now that they're putting on more weight. We'll update you again soon.
